A Wall Street stoke broker becomes a psychotic killing machine as he loses touch with reality.

Christian Bale stars as Patrick Bateman the psycho whose life no longer can keep his mind occupied and away from his murderous urges.

This is one of the funniest, darkest movies I have ever seen. It is so dark, so violent and yet, keeps you laughing all the way. Patrick Bateman’s discussions of Huey Lewis and the News as well as Whitney Huston and Phil Collins are hilarious considering he is usually about to kill some unsuspecting victim at the same time.

Setting the movie in the late 80s was a move of sheer genius, as it takes away from the violence by making this look dated with its ‘cordless’ phones that are the size of PSP’s, the wireless stereo headphones as well as the music.

This is a very dark movie that a lot of people probably won’t ‘get’ or like but its their loss, because this is one of the craziest, funniest movies I have seen.
